Offering of a spring semester will depend on enrolment and budget. All dates listed for spring semester are tentative.
* Registration times are assigned according to registration priority policy. New students are given registration times based on order of application. Times for students continuing from the previous semester will be set in April or November.
** Deadlines with respect to fees and course withdrawal may be changed; please see the Registration Guide and Timetable, published in March, May, and November for any revisions.
Note: Students should allow sufficient time to act prior to deadlines to ensure that they are not disappointed. Line-ups tend to be very long just before deadlines, and registration offices generally close at 4 p.m.
Convocation
UCFV’s convocation ceremonies are held in the second week of June. The exact date, time, location, and format of each ceremony will be announced by the Convocation committee by the preceding November. Students must normally apply to graduate by April 1. Please note: a fee for convocation/graduation may be instituted as of 2003.
